    Default my cataract lens moved

    So in 2012 I had a Detached retina, it was on the bottom of the eye and very repairable. after about 6-8 months I developed a Cataract which is not uncommon and had the lens replaced. Fast forward to last Sunday when I sat down to put on shoes to take Muttrey for a walk and my vision blurred. Apparently the lens slipped out of the socket not completely when i bend over I can see my shoes clearly. Headed to IA City tomorrow for a consult. Not happy but those here who know my history know I've faced worse. IA City is well respected for this procedure. Move forward cause it's all I know. I'll update when I know more. Thanks all.

    Thanks for the Kind words and encouragement. IA City was able to get me in ahead of schedule so Tuesday they took the old lens out and kept it from falling all the way down which would have been a much more serious and involved surgery. Put the new lens in front of the Cornea and put a couple sutures in place to hold it there til the incision heals. I've got vision it should clear up as the swelling goes down. I'll update later but here's a before and after.

    * in front of the iris - the cornea is the outside bit.
    It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage.

    You are correct, it's the Iris.
